BLOOD POISON.

Three years ago / contracted a blood
poison. Iapplied to physician at once
and his treatment came near killing me.
| employed an old physician and then
went to Ky. then went to Hot Springs
and remained two months, but nothing
seemed to cure me permanently, although
temporary relief was given me. My con-
dition grew desperate and applied to a
noted quack, but I did not improve. ]
then used preparation which was pres
scribed gratis" but it contained too
much alcohol and aggravated my suffer
ings. l then placed myself under the
treatment of noted Nashville physician
and for time was benefited, but by fall
returned home ruined man physically
and financially, with but little prospects
of ever getting well. My money being
exhausted, did not know what to do .
In May, 1885, my mother persuaded me
to get bottle of B. B. B. (made in At
lanta) and l did so to crafty her, but to
my utter establishment had not finished
the first bottle before every ulcer had
been healed.
To the present time | have used five
bottles and have received more benefit
than from all the rest combined; and am
satisfied that B. B. B. is the most won
derful blood purifier ever before known,
and | urge all afflicted young men to try
one single bottle and be convinced
can truly say think it the best medicine
in the world. z. T. HALLERToN

For many years 1 have been afflicted
with rheumatism, combined with some
kidney troubles. Indigestion finally added
TO my misery and l soon became feeble
and very nervous, and my whole system
was Frustrated, Several physicians wer,
employed and numerous patent medicines
resorted to without benefit. After seeing
so many testimonials extolling the won
derful merit of B. b. B., commenced it
use and the effect was like magic. Rheu'
matte pains ceased, my kidneys were re-
lieved and my constitution improved a
once, and cheerfully recommend it t.
others who may be similarly afflicted

How and When to Take Water.

According to Dr. Leuf, when water is taken into the full or partly full stomach, it does not mingle with the food, as we are generally taught, but passes along quickly between the food and les ser curvature toward the pylorus, through which it passes into the intestines. The secretion of mucus by the lining membrane is con stant, and during the night con
 siderable amount accumulates ill the stomach; some of its liquid portion is absorbed, and that which remains is thick and tena-

Mining.

Not many people realize that the
 intelligence and comfort of this
 world began with mining, that
 the intelligence and comfort of the
 world has expanded in the same
 ratio that mining and the use of
 metal have. When savage man
 built, by accident, fire upon a
 bed of Iron carbonates, and found,
 next morning, substance harder
 than stone and yet malleable;
 when, from it, he pointed an ar
 row, he made the javelin of the
 Greeks, the heavy spears of the
 Romans, the steam engine and the
 steamship possible. Better still,
 he made it possible to clear the
 forests; to cultivate the soil and
 to make comfortable habitations
 for mankind. When he found gold
 and silver and learned something
 of their peculiar properties, of
 their indestructibility, their per
 feet ductility, their freedom from corrosion; their exact fitness as measure of labor, and therefore as measure of values, then the breath of life was breathed into the infant nostrils of trade, and all modern commerce was made possible. From these beginnings, the upward progress in the work ing and combining of the metals marks the upward progress of the world. The wooden stick gave way to the iron blow; the bark ca noe gave way to the wooden ship, because men had tools to fashion it and bolts to hold it in place; houses. appeared in lieu of the caves and the piles of stone that before had made the abodes of men; art was born, and, hand in hand with science, began the work of subduing the world. The conquest has been going on ever since, and it has rested more on mining than on all beside. The generous earth gives man bread to sustain his life, but within earth is held the mate rial which makes mans work eff fective. The dull ore gives no sign as 1t is brought forth, but un- der hammer and fire it becomes transfgured. It materializes into chariots and ships; it turned the sun back in gold from the great temple al Jerusalem; 1t sparkles on the bosom of beauty; 1t com mands mans best service, and its absence or abundance marks the ratio of civilization which any land possesses. It made old Rome glo- rious with temples and with power; as 1t grew scarce distress came and then ignorance and crime, and the world lay in the twilight of the Medieval ages until the discov- cries in the New World fired anew the arteries of trade, and quick ened the intelligence of men to once more renew their assaults up on barbarism. The discovery of gold in California gave to the na- tion in single decade more ad vancement than four preceding decades had; the S1,S00,000,000 | which in gold and silver has been added to the treasury of the na ton since that discovery, 3S years ago, has advanced the republic from the place of a dependent power, so far as material wealth was concerned, to the foremost | place among the nations of the earth. The moving springs have been the miners pick and drill and the miners behind them. Mining is the one business that creates and carries toward the forces of the earth; and it's results are more like Gods work than any other known to man.-Salt Lake

cious. If food is taken into the stomach when in this condition 1t becomes coated with this mucus, and the secretion of the gastric juice and it's action are delayed. These facts show the value of a goblet of..water before breakfast. This washes out the tenacious mucus, and stimulates the gastric glands to secretion. In old or feeble persons water should not be taken cold, but it may be with great advantage then taken warm or hot. This removal of the ac- cumulated,mucus from the stomach is probably one of the reasons why
 taking soup at the beginning of
 meal has been found SO beneficial.
